A heavy, display-oriented serif with pronounced flaring into the terminals and strongly bracketed serifs that give strokes a sculpted, tapered feel. Curves are generous and round, while joins and terminals are softly sharpened, producing a rhythmic mix of smooth bowls and crisp finishing strokes. Counters tend to be moderately tight in the heaviest letters, and the overall texture reads dense and steady, with clear vertical emphasis and sturdy diagonals. Numerals share the same weighty presence and traditional proportions, designed to sit firmly alongside the letters.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks where a strong serif voice is needed—magazine features, cultural posters, packaging, and bold brand statements. It can work for emphasis in editorial layouts, but its dense color favors larger sizes and generous leading.
The tone is bold and self-assured with a classic, print-forward character. Its flared endings and substantial serifs suggest a heritage sensibility, while the rounded shapes keep it approachable rather than severe. Overall it feels authoritative, energetic, and well-suited to attention-grabbing statements.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, classic serif presence with distinctive flared terminals, balancing traditional cues with a rounded, contemporary friendliness. It prioritizes impact and recognizable letterforms over subtlety, aiming for clear branding and display performance.
In text settings the dark color builds quickly, so spacing and line length will noticeably affect readability; it performs best where its strong silhouette can be appreciated. The mix of broad forms and tapered terminals creates a distinctive cadence that stands out from more neutral oldstyle serifs.
